Choosing one of the world’s most famous cartoon characters for a fake driving licence might seem like something only Homer Simpson himself would do, but this week police pulled over a driver who had done just that.

A unidentified male driver was stopped by police in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, this week and presented the officer with the licence, featuring the character from The Simpsons.

The spoof licence came complete with an image of Simpson saying his “D’oh!” catchphrase, a signature and address. Thames Valley police said in a tweet: “The driver’s car was seized and he was reported for driving with no insurance and driving without a proper licence. D’oh!”
